A small-town American attorney cajoles his soccer buddies to travel to England to 'take their shot' in a World Masters Tournament.
Olde Boys is a feel good film about possibilities, dreams and adventure, the power of diversity, and the eternal truth - that men never really grow up. Michael Giordano - a comfortable, small-town attorney, confronts his worst fear: his soccer playing days are coming to an end. Many of his buddies are dropping out, lured by the less demanding pastime of cycling. Determined to have one final shot at glory, he signs up his veteran team for a World Masters tournament in England, significantly overstating their pedigree to secure the spot. His friend, the well-traveled, dreamer Alex Newton, is quickly on board, but it takes all Giordano's legal cunning to convince their skeptical, unadventurous teammates to make the trip. They are under-prepared, under-qualified, and, consequently, underdogs. They face humiliation, but prospects improve when Frankie, Mike's teenage daughter, steps in as their Coach. The competition provides good times, and a few 'spots of bother', as they savor the local culture. Despite a lingering tension between two of the stars, and some 'off-the-field' shenanigans, the team wins through to the final. With their families watching back home, can the underdogs take the trophy?—Nick Wilkinson
